Goats Eat Cans review

Book Synopsis:

Remember the weird kid with the greasy hair and the odd smell
you went to school with? You knoThe odw, the one who never talked to anyone? That
creepy little jerk who sat alone at lunch? dball who never took a shower
in gym class? The one you imagined might one day go on a shooting spree?
Believe it or not, that kid grew up.
He grew up, he got married, he never shot a single person, he wrote a book, and
he even started taking showers after his workouts – most of the time.
Goats Eat Cans is his story.
Follow along as Steven Novak recounts the sometimes hilarious, sometimes
hilariously painful, and sometimes painfully hilarious moments that have made
his life so wonderfully frustrating. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you might
even vomit. No matter what, you won't be able to stop reading.
Goats Eat Cans features 55 stories, 55 illustrations, 99 luftballons and enough
nonsense to keep you chuckling and giggling for days on end – or hours – or at
the very least a few minutes.

Review:

This is one of those books you can pick up and read a bit for a pick me up
or cheer up anytime you are feeling like life is a bit too much. While it is is full of potty, poop, fart, and
crude jokes and definitely written by a man and appeals more to men, it very
funny… if totally disgusting. Strangely
it is both at the same time, which made it a weird read for me, but the men in
my life thought it was a total hoot.

As a reader we get to experience many of his adventures, or I
should say mis-adventures, dealing with everything a person normally
experiences throughout their life. For an entertaining read I’d recommend
it. It is strictly for adults though. There is a lot of strong
language, some potty humor, and adult situations. For that I’d say older
teens and adults would be the primary audience.

I would call this an All Boys Book. The first half is full
of potty, poop, fart, and crude jokes. At first reading this I would be
offended, however funny, I then listened to some of my husband’s stories during
his younger years and I realize girls are just different. I found myself
laughing so hard and being totally disgusted all at the same time. My
husband thinks it is just hilarious.

I would give this book to a hard to shop for man. The whole potty humor is not my thing, but my
father and brother-in-laws who love juvenile humor would love it. I would
also buy it for the bathroom, a place a large majority of my family love to
keep books and magazines. I think it
would be quite popular.

While I would say that this story was probably not my favorite,
not being a fan of this genre of humor, I do see a market for this type of
book. I would have to give it three of
five clouds for the good writing and nitch market fit.
